There are issues with teemo. I've mained him since s3. This is not one of them. Teemo is not supposed to be a champ for everyone either.
Also none of the damage values were changed, either, so why would they mention them in the patch notes?

> Yeah this is a good concept. I think you're aiming it at the wrong champ, though. I'd say yi. trynd, jax, akali, and katarina are all worse in the 1v5 dept than yas.
Yi can only 1v5 if the enemy team is severely distracted or extremely scattered when he's super fed. If he just runs into 1v5 in a literal way, he instantly dies without doing anything.
Trynd can't 1v5 any more than he survives it and at best he picks off 1 guy if he's caught 1v5. That's why he's always used as a split-pusher and is broken in that sense.
Jax can't 1v5, probably 1v3 straight up, but not 1v5. Jax is absurdly strong, yes, but not because he could straight up 1v5.
Akali as broken as she is, she can dangle around 1v5 but at best she picks off 1 and at most 2, and if she stays any longer she would die.
Kat has to bank on using R to instantly wipe most of the entire enemy team to following up to finish the rest or else 1v5 is but a distant dream. It is only when she gets stupidly ahead when 1v5 is possible. And even then, all it takes is 1 strong CC to nullify her R.
Yasuo can literally 1v5 in the most literal way of that phrase. I've won a 3v5 before where the sole reason to why we won was entirely because Yasuo after some stage in the game would reach a critical mass that he just jumps into the enemy team solo and they all die.

Well, against quite a few team comps, especially one that doesn't have any long range cc, champs like {{champion:96}} kogmaw will hit a critical mass and then be able to 1v5 simply because they can kill the entire enemy team from a safe range, or {{champion:51}} because she can protect her own flanks with her traps, also has a huge attack range, and can self peel with her net, or {{champion:67}} vayne because she can spam stealth and %hp true damage op.

Well, I play league so yeah i wouldn't be doubtful because I've seen how things can be handled.
I knew it was worse to go bot. I still did though and I can explain that.
Have you ever won a teamfight mid, like right at river in mid, you ace the enemy team and no one on your team dies? It's like 22 min in, only tier one towers are down, and 4 members of your team all run to the cloud drake which is about to respawn? Cloud drake is about the worst obj you could take at that point, and they have to wait 5 seconds for it to spawn anyway. Pushing mid would have been preferable, and the correct play at that point probably would be baron, but that's not what your team wants. I've been told, in situations like that, it is better to coordinate with your team and go with them to do the wrong thing than to try to do the right play(like trying to take mid turret or baron) on your own, especially because if something goes wrong then, your team might mia ping on you and tilt because they all think you're doing the wrong thing and not playing with the team and then you become way more likely to lose.
So yeah, I knew it was bad to go bot, and that it would cause more problems than me just doing bad top, but it seemed like my support really didn't want me top anymore, so to prevent her tilting and be a team player, i stopped going top. There was a logical reason to leave top. It was bad logic, but it was still there.

I believe their answers are right on the money. I don't care what you think of their answers because, once again, you've shown that you are willing to lie about trolling no matter how blatant it was with no hesitation.

>once again you've shown that you are willing to lie about trolling no matter how blatant it was with no hesitation

The industry works like this because there are millions of other people who have gotten banned and lied about it. There is no real way to prove your innocence in any given situation in most games, unless you recorded the game you were banned for. Literally everyone in here has seen hundreds of people lie that they were falsely banned, so why should the next person they come across be innocent until proven otherwise?

Goes towards credibility, as stated. I'm not about to believe your word that you made those actions with no ill-intent. Your past history of shamelessly lying about trolling coupled with the extreme unlikelihood that you would perform those actions with that description in the OP and **not** be intending to troll pretty much guarantees no one would believe your claim of innocence.
This a public board, we don't assign punishment. You asked "How is it toxic?" and people answered based your description.

You tried to pull this same act previously [here](https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/player-behavior-moderation/5bqNJurI-banned-for-a-bad-game).
No believed your claims that you weren't intentionally feeding because of the overwhelming amount of evidence against you. People should have less reason to believe you now because you have no credibility and people are still just as keen about your obvious facade.

Don't spit on my cupcake and call it frosting. We know you trolled. "Hr, hr, they told me I'm bad at top, so I'll leave, I'm such a good boy."
We get it. You don't have to be Columbo to unravel the case. You aren't producing an impenetrable smoke screen here. You aren't Chris Angel, no one is mindfreaked.
Next time just ignore them and report them instead of ruining things for the entire team.

:
what she wanted was you to give the keyboard to someone that is 2-3 ranks higher then you but yes she should have just said nothing and kept it to herself
us teemo players always get it bad man, just learn to /mute all every single game and afk your win condition.. you cant be banned for refusing to communicate anymore so fk em just play your lane, have a little fun and try to win... otherwise nothing else matters

:
Because you were retaliating against someone who was being a jerk to you by trying to be clever and prove a point. Remember, there are other people in the game besides the Zyra that was giving you a hard time. They don't deserve to deal with this petty shit.

As someone who's mained teemo top since s3, I agree completely. I've seen all manner of meta and this one is insane.
TK is objectively busted. The biggest shield in the game. Not even full ap shen can give a shield that big. Then a ranged poke tool with a low cooldown thats basically a better version of mundo q, but with a stun on it too if he's been autoing you. He can also eat you and he gets a short-medium range teleport as an ult that fires way faster than SS-TP.
Karma's range, shield with speed boost and healing on her W make her impossible to trade with, even as she pokes under tower.
Kennen actually isn't that bad. He can't stun lock with the runaans attack speed build anymore, and his ap build isn't that bad if youre someone who can build a lot of MR.
Neeko is really strong because of her really big range and not being able to hide behind minions, low mana costs, and low cooldowns. Hitting any of those things would fix it.
Teemo should get a base MS boost, because he's the swift scout. Teemo with boots is still slower than, say, pantheon without boots. That's not very swift.
New morde is kind of too strong too, just because of his ult design. The rest of his abilities seem fine, but being able to 1v1 anyone in the middle of a teamfight isn't ok, which isn't just my opinion, but the opinion of riot, which they gave during the poppy rework.

Yeah, it's a team game, so a loss could theoretically be on your team and not you, since, as a team game, you rely on teammates. You might be doing everything right, but your teammates just aren't playing as well as you, so you lose through no fault of your own. Maybe like a +3 and -3 more, just a small difference.

:
Sure, I guess this acct was G1. But I'm not a G1 player. The game should figure that out. And no, its not different than any other season. I'm saying its been this way forever and it sucks. Just like last season, and the season before, and the one before that....

:
Kayle and Morg are original champions... Thats the bottom line. Without the original champions game wouldn't even be going right now... You dont need to play every champion.. I personally do play both kayle and morgana...

:
I mean… it's intended to feel "shitty" given that it is a punishment. But the thing about being able to message other people seems absolutely reasonable to be honest. I don't think making you appear rude to other people is an intended consequence of the punishment; or at least I don't think it should be.

What?
Which ones?
Everyone assassin's gap closer is at least 14s to 20s long.
The oly exception is Kayn's Q which is 5s at the least, but the range is 350.
Condemn's range is 550
>
> Condemn is 20 fucking seconds.
>
> and she does NOT build cdr.
This is such a terribly flawed argument. *what duel lasts more than 20 seconds? What duel comes even close?*
Bringing up the cooldown of condemn is a terribly misleading argument

Yeah i think like, kha leap gets to be around 10 seconds late. But that's irrelevant. He jumped onto her because there was an opening. She just E's him away and then the opening is gone and if he tries to jump on her again she's now safely tucked into her team. Add on top of that botrk slow(which she does build) and there's almost no way to catch her unless she severely misplays, and having to rely on her misplaying is not counterplay.
Edit: also, at max rank, her condemn cooldown is 12 seconds. Essence reaver is also not unheard of on her. Nor is new Deaths dance. As a toplaner Triforce is good on her because of Q's low cooldown. She can also go duskblade and if she waits out the stealth on her ult Q she can proc that, and that item gives 10%. I've also seen people on vayne sell popped GA for Cleaver lategame until GA is back up. She does sometimes build some CDR. It's not a stat she prioritizes, but she can and often does get some.

This argument is so flawed and the only way you will ever be able to understand is going and playing adc's so you understand the massive stat differences between melee and range.
I would fucking love for range carries to get the same standards as melee that would be a massive improvement.
Yi gets q resets and can dash around and be untargetable while also 2 hitting sqishies making him just as bad if not worse than vayne too btw. Darius can kill 1 person with his r to get a 1auto 5 stacks onto anyone else. Garen is extremely simplistic to play so he obviously gets less power. Fiora vitals dive her huge % hp truedamage so of course she has to hit them correctly, but with a low CD dash as reset and repose it's a fluid and powerful kit. Half the characters in the game have damage that you can avoid by dodging their stuff so the aatrox comment feels really hallarious that he is the one and not someone like xerath who has 4 skillshots. Or just mage chars in general.
Adcs have to play around divers/assassin's that can kill them instantly at all stanges of the game doesn't even matter I'd the zed is 0/4 still can one shot the ADC. Positioning is more important on ADC than any other class in the game and out of every class typically adc's lack the most cc. Or it's gated behind their long r CD or specific conditions like vayne condemn.

Vayne doesnt have to play around assassins/divers. If they gapclose onto her she just E's them away. It doesn't matter if they hit a wall, she can use E just to create distance and get away, creating even more distance with q so that you can't even flash to get back onto her.

The problem with vayne is less her true damage and more her self peel. She can kite with Q very easily, and if someone does manage to get in range she can E them away. E has too much utility as peel for her. It doesn't even need to make them hit a wall for it to be really good because she can just E a darius or Garen or Assassin away then Q away and she's too far away to even flash onto at that point. Even someone like Teemo who should be able to handle her, during the blind she will just E him away, then ult and run him down, stealthing too often for him to trade autos effectively. They should change E to only knock people back if it will hit a wall. Make it like the bard Q. It passes through them and if it hits a wall it pulls them to it and stuns them, because right now it gives her entirely too much safety. Or rework it into a Bolt on a rope that pulls people to her so she can't use it as peel. That would be better since then she couldnt use it to "outplay" assassins who do manage to gap close onto her.

:
You know what, you're one of the few people that goes screaming for Q nerfs like lowering the range or speed etc. Instead you actually propose to increase the size of the visual. Nice
{{sticker:slayer-pantheon-thumbs}}

teemo has been outside the meta since s3. I have mained him since s3. I think the runes reforged system was a net nerf to him and a lot of champs in terms of diversity.
All the same, I basically onetrick teemo. ":outside meta" really only means unpopular among pros.

Yeah, my team takes my farm all the time when I'm behind. This is in silver. They're like "you gotta be good enough to last hit it". And i'm like, "You're fed and can kill a minion that has 2/3 hp, while i need to wait for it to be under a quarter hp" and they just say "git gud"

Anything you try to regulate tends to get worse. Look at the opioid epidemic. People have done nothing but crack down on it, and it does nothing but get worse. If they stopped banning for "toxic" and put personal responsibility on players to use mute buttons, i think things would get better.

This isn't toxicity.
This entire community needs some perspective. Go on a random chan board, 9gag and the pre google buyout youtube comments section. That's real toxicity. The things the league community call toxicity is truly laughable to other communities, which is why the community is so toxic compared to other communities. They scream "ban him" at the drop of a hat.
It seems paradoxical, but, the stricter community rules are, the more toxic the community in general. Look at soviet russia. Very strict laws, very toxic society. Same with Nazi germany. Very strict laws, very toxic society.

Because League of legends is a recreational video game that you're completely free to stop playing if you don't like what the rules are. Riot has rights over their game.

:
Here's the thing: Riot can't tell you agreed. Moreover, Riot can't tell you ALL agreed. Yeah, the situation sucks. There's a lot of reasons why it has to work that way, most of which boil down to the other options being worse, but that doesn't make it suck any less. Next time, remember that you have to play it out. That's the only way to stay out of trouble.

:
>edit 2: "Because rito doth proclaim" is not an argument. Riot is a company of people. People are not infallible.
Your starting question is "How can there be a forfeit function if "giving up" is reportable?". Giving up is punishable because "rito doth proclaim" so.
It would be just as easy (if not easier) to not punish for it, but Riot has decided that was against the rules. They are within the same rights to allow the forfeit option.
The reasoning behind each decision is certainly different, but it is ultimately Riot's decision. There's no sense in allowing a game to continue if a super-majority of the team has decided there is little hope of victory. But a single person deciding for the rest of the team to place them at a disadvantage is not okay and should be discouraged.

:
Everyone has the right to initiate a surrender. Just that not all your teammaye agrees. If the vote is not unanimous then you must continue to play your best. Until the game naturally runs its course.
You can alt f4 but I suspect that will eventually get you a fat ban. Not if just when.
